Windows Startup fail due to Driver Update

Windows Startup fail due to Driver Update

Ok so I recently updated my graphics card, which was an amd. Not sure exactly what kind and don't care. I updated it, and resettrs the pc. I notice the startup was slow, but it made it all the way to the home screen, and then the problems began.

My comp began going very slow, and was laggy. I decided to uninstall everything that came with that amd update. I was close to getting it finished, the screen went black and all I saw was the mouse pointer. I tried my best to give it some time but It took forever, so I force resetted. Probably my mistake, and should be waited longer.

After force restarting, of course I'm met with the error message that something has gone wrong. I've tried to reset the pc, which worked before, but now after going through the whole process, it tells me it failed to do it. That was my only hope. I can't enter safe mode for some odd reason, and can't get the choice to reset my pc. I was able to backup my files with my USB drive so that's a good thing.

I have no repair disk and had to order one on Amazon. Only option I have left right now is the chkdsk which is going to take almost 2 hours to complete, but I doubt it's going to solve anything.

My main question is if there is any way to resolve this problem maybe via command prompt? Or maybe just get a way to enter safe mode. I feel if I can at least get safe mode, I can uninstall that driver. I know me force shutting down my laptop most likely corrupted the process, or maybe it just froze up.

Tl;dr: tried to install driver update, lagged up my laptop, force shut it down after a possible freeze into uninstalling the driver, now all options for the recovery settings are useless except maybe command prompt. Need to know if I resolve the issue via command prompt, or is there another trick to get into safe mode.

My ComputerYou need to have JavaScript enabled so that you can use this ...

- there won't be one magic 'Fix my computer' command that will solve all your problems, I suspect.

If you boot from Win 10 install medium (DVD/flash drive) you can navigate to an option to start in Safe Mode.

You can also boot from Win 10 install medium to a command prompt, discover the drive letter now allocated to your system disk/partition and then run
chkdsk x: /F
- where x is the drive letter allocated (almost certainly not C).

I know me force shutting down my laptop most likely corrupted the process, or maybe it just froze up.

Based on provided info, you have a laptop with AMD and you have updated driver via Windows update, which offers the latest driver, which is for desktop PC and results in a black screen. I had the same problem as well.

You can boot Windows to advanced startup options and run system restore. Choose a point before installing the driver.
